Answer:

The answer to your question is 12 hydrogen atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical equation

6CO₂ + 6HO ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

To know how many atoms of each element are in each side of the reaction, we must multiply the coefficient at the beginning of the compound by the number after the element.

Example

For Hydrogen

Coefficient for H₂O = 6

Number after H = 2

Multiply these numbers = 6 x 2 = 12 atoms of hydrogen
